[Zongyingmi] Accidentally fell asleep

As a result, Martha was sent back by Charles.

Being a gentleman, Charles of course did not enter Martha's room and left after saying good night to her at the door.

Back in the room, Martha was tossing and turning in bed, unable to sleep, her mind was full of images of being with Charles just now.

Those blue eyes seemed to contain some kind of magical power, which was deeply imprinted in her mind, making her unable to forget.

Martha knew.

Since rescuing the professor, something in her heart was unknowingly changing.

At the beginning, she didn't notice it, but now she doesn't want to admit it.

A professor can be her teacher, her family, and her admiration, but she should never be her object of admiration!

The professor treats her like her own daughter, but she has such nasty thoughts about the professor, she is just like a white-eyed wolf.

Martha clenched her lower lip, feeling full of guilt. The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. She simply turned around and slapped the pillow hard to vent her anger.

"I think you are mentally ill!" She cursed angrily, and hit the pillow a few more times.

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground suddenly came from outside the door, which startled Martha. She couldn't help being curious and got out of bed to see what happened.

In the corridor, the door of the next room was wide open, and the owner of the room, Kuaiyin, was dressed in black and was rubbing his buttocks while leaning on the wardrobe, grinning in pain.

"Pietro?"

"Martha?!" Kuaiyin noticed Martha now, and immediately put down his hands, pretending that nothing happened, "It turned out that you yelled and almost scared me to death."

Seeing his embarrassed appearance, Martha also forgot the worries just now, covered her mouth and smiled, "It's not that you were scared to death, but you were thrown to death, right?"

Kuaiyin blushed, knowing that he couldn't beat Martha, so he turned around and went to bed, and gave the order to evict, "I'm going to sleep."

Martha saw that he seemed to have just come back from outside, and wanted to ask him where he had been so late, but then she thought that boys of this age like to keep little secrets, so she didn't ask, and turned back to her room .

The next morning was the professor's history class. Logically speaking, Martha didn't need to go to class at her age, but the professor thought she had nothing to do in X Academy, so he asked her to come and listen.

Martha was almost sleepless all night, and went to the classroom with a pair of panda eyes. Although she was not late, she couldn't resist the heavy sleepiness and fell asleep during class.

"Martha? Martha?"

She was sleeping soundly on the table, when she suddenly felt someone patting her arm, and woke up in a daze, only to find that the professor and other classmates were staring at her.

Charles clenched his fist and coughed lightly twice before tapping the blackboard, "Martha, get up and answer this question."

"..."

It's over, she's going to lose face again.

Martha stood up slowly, blinking her big eyes pitifully, "Professor, I won't..."

Martha was already older than the other students, and now she made a fool of herself in public, which immediately aroused the merciless ridicule of other students.

"Quiet!" The professor rarely showed a serious look, "No noise is allowed during class!"

After finishing speaking, Charles turned his attention back to Martha, "This topic will be explained today, and it's normal for you not to know it. You must listen carefully to the class from now on."

"Yes, Professor." Martha lowered her head and obediently admitted her mistake.

"Okay, let's continue with the class."

Unexpectedly, the professor let her go so easily, Martha breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly sat down and pretended to listen to the class seriously.

Charles saw through Martha's little trick at once, and a smile flashed in his eyes, but he didn't see through.

He asked Martha to come to the class, mainly to keep Martha from being idle, to save her from thinking wildly, or accidentally causing trouble.

After class, Charles asked Martha to follow him to the office.

Martha felt a little nervous, thinking that Charles had discovered that she hadn't paid attention to the class, and was thinking about turning herself in, so Charles said, "Martha, did you see Pietro yesterday?"

"Huh?" Martha was stunned for a moment, but since the professor didn't mention it, of course she wouldn't say it out of nowhere.

"Pietro? He seemed to be back late yesterday."

"Do you know where he went?"

Martha shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't ask him."

Kuaiyin came back so late yesterday, and when he saw her, he pretended to be asleep in a panic, as if he didn't want to be asked where he went, there must be a ghost!

"Professor, what happened to Pietro?"

Charles sighed softly, "I hope nothing happened."

Martha was about to ask him what he meant, but was interrupted by a knock on the door. Storm walked in with an envelope in her hand, "Sorry, did I bother you?"

"No." Charles also noticed the envelope in Storm's hand, "Is this for me?"

"Yes, this is an invitation letter for Earl Fell's charity auction." Storm handed the envelope to the professor.

"Earl Fair?" Martha thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember it.

"Earl Fell was a famous philanthropist in the last century. This charity auction was founded by him and has continued to this day. Basically, those who can participate are the super rich or very famous people."

Storm saw that Martha didn't seem to know about this charity auction, and was a little surprised. After all, this charity auction is super famous, and the annual attendance list has also attracted much attention.

Martha let out an "oh", and didn't care much about this kind of rich people's gathering.

"Professor, this charity auction... are you going to go?" Storm asked a little nervously.

As the heir of the Xavier Group and the leader of the mutants, the professor is invited to attend this charity auction every year.

But this year's situation is a bit different. The professor's current appearance, attending a charity auction... seems inappropriate.

Charles opened the envelope and read the invitation letter carefully, "I plan to go."

"But……"

"I know what you want to say." Charles interrupted Storm, "That's why I want to attend this charity auction all the more."

Charles put the invitation letter in the drawer and closed it gently, "In the eyes of the world, I am no longer Professor X. I must let everyone accept my new identity as soon as possible, and replace the original Professor X in everyone's heart .”

Both Martha and Storm were silent.

In their hearts, Professor X has always been Professor X, and this matter is too natural, so they did not consider the outside world's attention.

In the eyes of the world, after the Battle of Gotham, Professor X has never appeared again, so it is inevitable to imagine in a bad direction, and even feel uneasy.

Especially those mutants who have long been discriminated against by humans.

Storm secretly blamed herself for not thinking well, "I understand, I will help you arrange this charity auction on the schedule, but I have something to do that day, so I cannot attend with you."

Attending gatherings in high society usually brings a female or male companion. In the past few years, Storm accompanied the professor.

"That's it..." Charles touched his chin, thinking about other suitable candidates.

"Why don't you let Martha go with you?" Storm felt that Martha was quite suitable, since she happened to be recuperating at X Academy, and she didn't have any place to go, so she wouldn't be free.

"Me?" Martha blamed herself in panic, and quickly waved her hands, "I can't do it!"

She is a bumpkin from a slum, and she doesn't even know dining etiquette, so she can't go to any high-society gathering.

"Don't worry, this charity auction is no different from other auctions, and you don't need to do anything." Storm explained to her.

Martha still shook her head unwillingly.

She hadn't even participated in ordinary auctions, and she didn't know any of those celebrities and rich people, so following along would only embarrass the professor.

"I really don't want to go, why don't you go and ask Qin." Martha wrinkled a bitter face.

"Qin has so many troubles recently, I probably don't want to go." Since Logan came back, Scott has been arguing with him all the time, and Qin is always moaning.

"Sorry, I really don't want to go."

It doesn't matter if she has low self-esteem or anything, she really doesn't want to go to those places to humiliate herself, and she is even more afraid of embarrassing the professor.

"Since Martha doesn't want to go, let's forget it." Charles didn't want to force others, "I'll think of a way to deal with the female companion."

Martha felt a little sorry for not being able to help the professor, so she planned to ask Qin to see if she could accompany the professor to the auction.

Martha went to Qin's bedroom and ran into nothing, but met Quicksilver on the way back to the room.

Kuaiyin hid furtively in the corner, with his head open and he didn't know what he was peeking at.

Martha narrowed her eyes and had a bad idea. She tiptoed behind Kuaiyin and slapped him heavily on the shoulder, "What are you doing?"

Kuaiyin almost jumped up in fright, "I'm going! Why are you? You almost scared me to death!"

Martha snorted, "How could you be scared by me if you don't do anything wrong, why are you sneaking around here?"

Before he could answer, Martha poked her head to peek, and saw a tall beauty chatting with the professor.

Martha was slightly taken aback.

Even though the beautiful woman turned her back, she could feel that the two of them were having a good time talking.

A handsome man and a beautiful woman are a beautiful scenery. If she accompanied the professor to the charity auction, it would be very suitable.

Martha felt a little disappointed in her heart, but she covered it up very well on the surface, and deliberately teased Kuaiyin, "I didn't realize that you were so courageous, and dared to peek at the professor's gossip."

Kuaiyin frowned, with an expression of not knowing what medicine Martha had taken wrongly, "What professor's gossip? What nonsense are you talking about?"

Martha was stunned. Kuaiyin's reaction didn't seem like he was lying. Could it be that he wasn't peeking at the professor just now, but the girl?

In an instant, Martha imagined an [-] o'clock drama of dog blood thunder.

"you……"

Martha was thinking about how to politely ask Kuaiyin if she fell in love with the same girl as the professor, when she suddenly heard the professor's voice rang in her mind.

【Pietro, Martha, where are you hiding and what are you doing? 】

Being caught on the spot by the person involved, Martha and Kuaiyin had no choice but to keep hiding, so they had to come out obediently.

"What a coincidence, professor, I was chatting with Pietro over there, I didn't expect you to be here." Martha greeted the professor first with a smile.

"This is the door of my office."

"..."

Martha rubbed her nose resentfully, didn't speak any more, turned her head to look at Kuaiyin, and saw Kuaiyin staring straight at the beautiful woman next to the professor, not as if she had a crush on her, but as if she had a grudge against her.

Martha was puzzled, and took the opportunity to look at the beautiful woman beside the professor.
